Have Fall Fitness Sucess With Vitamin D

One complaint I hear in mid to late September is low energy levels.  

One easy way to correct this issue is to get your Vitamin D levels checked.  This can be done at the doctors office or you can order test that can be done at Lab Corp locations.  

Once you get the blood drawn the levels you want to shoot for would be 60-80 ng/dL to start with and  an ideal level of 80-100 ng/dL.

To get to these levels some people might only need to supplement with 5,000 i.u.  Other people may need 10-15,000 i.u. to get to there, especially in the fall months.

Regarding supplement brands I have found the liquid Vitamin D from Thorne FX to be one of the better ones as it also contains Vitamin K2 to help prevent excess calcium to be absorbed in the blood instead of bones.
